750 ml bottle. The cork reads 08-2005, but the bottle says 08-2007. I'm assuming the former is the bottled on date, and the later the best by date? I purchased this bottle that has sat on a store shelf in the light for far too long at a discounted $3 off, making it $7.99. The foil was stuck to the bottle and crumbly, the cage was heavily oxidized and created powder when I unscrewed the twist, and finally the exposed portion of the cork was rough and looked like ants had chewed on it. Off to a great start!!! Surprisingly enough it created a light popping noise when opened. Poured into an over sized wine glass.

A - Darker than I was expecting. An opaque dark brown/light red body with some swirls of light brown foam resting on the top. Looks....dirty? Looking up the glass through the beer is like looking through contaminated pond water.

S - Funky peach juice. And not in the pleasant way that fou' foune has that funky apricot aroma. No, this is like leaving a peach in a dirty sock for a few months and then straining it into a juice concoction. Maybe throwing it into a bag and adding some bread to let it ferment ala prison wine. Its not horribly offensive, its just not pleasant at all.

T - Certainly better than that aroma. Peach syrup, bread, and a chemical finish. This is like an expired peach soda or something. Its not bad, but I don't find my self wanting to take that next sip. Did I mention this was a 750 ml? Thats about 25 oz of a fluid that I really don't want to be drinking...

M - Effervescent yet syrupy. Has retained a decent amount of carbonation after these 7 years. 2.6% abv? Whyyy?

O - I won't be refilling my glass to finish the bottle. I recently tried a similar beer of the same vintage, a 2005 De Boomgaard Peche. It was absolutely abysmal, This was a hair better as I actually found it somewhat drinkable. I keep buying these old sweetened lambics for some reason, its not even fun to experiment with them anymore. Perhaps I'm being harsh on a product that has been retired for a while and had no business being aged, but whatever. Avoid! (2,082 characters)

Auburn, peach colored beer, looks the part so far. Aroma reveals a sweet, fruity essence, peach if you say so, no funky aroma or brett feel to it.

Taste, sweet and sour come closer to balance, would like to see more sour though. Too much of a syrupy sweet feel instead of sour in this one.

Seems like it fits under the fruit beer category more than the lambic, too much thick viscosity and not enough sour and dryness to it. Not a bad beer per se, only $5 a bottle, but still. . . (483 characters)

12.7 oz bottle split and poured into a Bruery tulip.07-2007, no info available on the bottle.

A - Odd, this pours a dark burnt orange color with almost no head. Loose tan bubbles rest on top lightly. A bit cloudy, it's still mostly see-through.

S - Smelling this is like stepping into a Micheal's store. Undertones of potpourri, wood-paneled basement, and a bit of peach fruit. Funky but not wild yeast funky. Not bad though, just very different.

T - Heavy peach syrup with sugary sweetness that's not offset very well, this beer has a surprising lack of lambic notes. Faint wild yeast on the back end.

M - Low carbonation and high sugar makes for a thicker-feeling, medium body with a sweet finish with a lingering trail of dryness.

O - Purchased for $4.49, I paid $4 too much for this. It's odd, not very drinkable, and certainly not a good example of a fruit lambic. Given it's age and it's alcohol percent, I suppose I can't dock it too much. (952 characters)

August 2005 Cork Date; Sampled June 2008As I pour this a floral note of peaches mixes with a lactic tart aroma. A reasonable pour produces an almost two-finger thick, light tan colored head that sits on top of a clear, amber colored beer that shows a brilliantly clear, full copper color when held up to the light. A fuller inspection of the nose yields more lactic sourness, more than I was expecting from this beer. Floral peach notes are here as well, but they actually play less of a role than the tartness; a peach flesh floral note becomes a bit more noticeable as I get used to the tartness. This really is quite floral smelling.

Quite sweet tasting, more than I was expecting given the tart leaning aroma. There is some tartness here, but the sweetness does a good job of drowning it out at first, luckily it is substantial enough that it cant be repressed and it does help to balance the ample sweetness. While this is sweet and fruity tasting, in fact amply so, this does not scream peach; this makes sense as I have found that peach is more floral than being a distinctive flavor in and of itself. This has a fairly viscous body and heft to it. Thicker than your typical soda, but probably at least as sweet as one. There is a prickly carbonation here as well that probably helps to lighten this beer just a touch.

Not really beer, even the noticed tartness doesn't make this seem any more like a Lambic.

Heavy green 12.7oz glass bottle with gold orange foil around the neck and a black orange label showing two peaches.Translucent maple body with large floaters. Large off-white head of small to large bubbles. Good retention and decent lace.Sweet peach suryp smell.Sweet peach flavor with a puckering tartness that takes over fairly quickly and lasts into becoming the aftertaste. An odd metallic note is unfortunately present.Medium body, puckering and dry.Pretty good drinkability. Seems to be more of a peach soda than a peach lambic. Still refreshing and tasty.

Hazy brownish copper color with a moderate off white head that disipates fairly quickly with no lacing.

The aroma is mildly peachy but with a tart overtone - kind of like a peach vinegar, but milder.

The taste starts out tart, then sweet. The tartness at least keeps the sweetness from being overpowering and cloying. Plenty of peach flavor, but it's not a clean fresh peach, more like old fashioned home canned peaches, if anybody remembers those. Finishes very tangy and acidic, with a lingering taste like dried peaches or apricots marinated in vinegar.

Clear copper. Small dirty beige head. Barely laces at all. Big sweet fuzzy peach aroma. Very sweet beer. Nothing of note as far as lambic chacteristics. It's sweet, but the peach flavor isn't all bright and everything. It's just kind of drab. Mouthfeel has a bit of a spritz to it. But it's not overcarbonated. Just a little fizzy. Medium bodied. They shouldn't call this a lambic. Very sweet overall. O.K. for a "fruit beer." But nothing I'd need to revisit soon. (464 characters)

I did this one with a bunch of friends during a sour beer tasting. It was an interesting experience.

This particular beer had a whole bunch of citrus apparent in the aroma with a mandarin orange and peach like presnece being the most noticeable. There is no real Lambic character in this beer which is disappointing. There is no dryness or sourness, but only a syrupy sweetness to linger for some time. The sweetness is such that it leaves you a very syrupy resiny and absolutely cloying impression to sit on the back of the throat for minutes after the sip. This beer was interesting to try, but I certainly can't see myself drinking another one of these any time soon. (673 characters)

Bottle: Poured a clear light copper color beer with a small fuzzy head with minimal retention. Aroma of peach syrup is totally dominant. The peach syrup, which I am not too fond of to begin with, and some very subtle sourness also dominate taste. I would have Lindemans pêche any days over this, which I guess says a lot about my fondness for peach based beer. (361 characters)

Poured the bottle into a Lindeman's flute. Pours out a hazy, turgid brown. Nose is very lightly fruity, but not identifiably peach. Can't detect any brett character either. Flavor is nicely peach, though, much more tart than sweet (unlike the cloying Lindeman's peche), though a lot of residual sugars do remain. Lack of brett funk is still notable. Finishes sour.

The beer poured into the glass clear golden amber with a low white head which lasted to coat the glass.

The aroma was acidic sourness with a fruity peach presence with a bit of diacetyl buttery character mixed in.

The flavor was sweet with a strong peach fruit flavor followed by a light sourness that was acidic and complemented the peach character very well. The flavor being sweet and sour was very tasty, yet not very complex in nature.

The finish was dry with a lasting peach fruit flavor and light acidic sour character into the aftertaste. The body was medium and the carbonation made the beer lightly effervescent. The beer had no real complexity, but ding dang it, I liked the flavor. It could be a favorite for some since it drinks very easily.

Pours a deep golden color with great clarity. Big bubbles cascade up from the bottom to keep a nice finger of head over top. Nose is candied peach with a touch of tart zing. Lots of sweetness in this one. Pretty solid fruit character. Flavor is full on syrupy sweet peach sugaryness. Only the lightest hint of a tartness hangs out on the initial flavor. Way over the top with the sweetness in this one. Feel is very syrupy, leaving a ton of sticky spit in my mouth after swallowing. Carbonation is light to modearte. I'm just not really getting into this one. Obviously sweetened for mass consumption. Pass on this one if I see it again. (637 characters)

Appearance: Suprisingly dark compared to other Peche lambics I've imbibed. Almost oaken in appearance with a very sparse head that dissipates within moments.

Smell: Mildly sweet with a minimal scent of peaches. A deep-seated sourish smell that is slightly offputting. Almost vinegary.

Taste: Very sweet upfront with a slight peach bouquet. A very hard to detect oaken flavor that is heavily masked by the overall sweetness.

Mouthfeel: Thin yet flavorful, the flavor persists only momentarily though the sweetness persists in the back of the mouth for several minutes. Suprisingly refreshing.

Drinkability: Sweet, but not too sweet it could be enjoyed in quantity a bit more than its' competitors. Not a session beer for me, but I would enjoy it for dessert. I'm anxious to try this with cheesecake. (810 characters)

Presentation: 12.7 fluid ounce green glass bottle which has a dimpled base. Thin but clinging bronzed-orange foil wraps the neck and covers the large crown cap. Main label has the words Premium Peche above a pair of juicy peaches. Recommended to be served at 5°C (thats 41°F). Allegedly this stuff is the regular St. Louis Peche (3.5%) but with more Peach juice/extract. Best Before 10-2006. No strength listed but research tells me that this is a massive 2.6% ABV...oh my, do Belgians understand the word Premium I wonder!?

Taste: Sweet sickly peaches and apricots run in the front and never go away, though it does fade a little. Sticky and syrup like the peaches are way too concentrated. Fruit beer with more extract than anything else. One-dimensional and way too sweet.

Mouthfeel: Cloying throughout. Sticks around on the teeth and lies way too heavy on the tongue with a sugary residue. Awful.

Drinkability: Low key beauty. Peachy in the worse possible sense. Not very nice at all.

More Standard than Premium.
More Beer with Fruit Extract than Fruit-Lambic.
